Description

本発明は、基板の周縁部を洗浄する基板洗浄装置及び基板洗浄方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a substrate cleaning apparatus and a substrate cleaning method for cleaning the peripheral edge of a substrate.

従来から、基板の周縁部を有効に洗浄することができず、その結果、基板の周縁部に洗浄されずに残ったパーティクルが基板の表面に再付着することがあるといった問題があった。このような問題を解決するために、半導体ウェハ等からなる基板の周縁部を洗浄することが行われている。特許文献1では、基板の周縁部を把持して該基板を回転させる複数の基板回転用ローラと、基板の端面及びベベル面に接触して該端面及びベベル面をスクラブ洗浄する洗浄部材を有する回転自在な洗浄ローラと、基板回転用ローラの動力を洗浄ローラに伝達して洗浄ローラを回転させる動力伝達機構とを有する基板洗浄装置が提案されている。 Conventionally, there has been a problem that the peripheral edge of the substrate cannot be effectively cleaned, and as a result, particles remaining uncleaned on the peripheral edge of the substrate may reattach to the surface of the substrate. In order to solve such a problem, the peripheral edge of a substrate made of a semiconductor wafer or the like is cleaned. Patent Document 1 has a plurality of rollers for rotating a substrate that grip the peripheral edge of the substrate and rotate the substrate, and a rotation member having a cleaning member that contacts the end face and the bevel surface of the substrate and scrubs the end face and the bevel surface. A substrate cleaning device having a flexible cleaning roller and a power transmission mechanism that transmits the power of the substrate rotating roller to the cleaning roller to rotate the cleaning roller has been proposed.

It may have a second moving portion 36 for moving along (the left-right direction in FIG. 3) and approaching or separating from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W. The support portion that supports the substrate W and the rotating portion that rotates the substrate W are separate bodies. For example, the substrate W is supported (held) by a supporting portion such as a chuck, and the substrate W is supported (held) by the rotating portion. It may be rotated. In this case, the substrate rotating portion is formed by both the supporting portion and the rotating portion. The material of the support member of the substrate rotating portion 110 that supports the substrate W is made of a material having a hard hardness, and may be urethane or the like.

基板Wの周縁部とは、基板Wの端部から面内方向の長さにおける1/10の範囲内にある領域を意味する。基板Wが円形状のウェハからなる場合であって、ウェハの直径がRである場合には、ウェハの端部から1/10×Rの範囲内にある領域がウェハの周縁部になる。本実施の形態では、基板Wの周縁部の全部ではなく一部を周縁洗浄部材10が洗浄する態様となっている。ただし、このような態様に限られることはなく、周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部の全部を洗浄するようにしてもよい。 The peripheral edge portion of the substrate W means a region within a range of 1/10 of the length in the in-plane direction from the end portion of the substrate W. When the substrate W is made of a circular wafer and the diameter of the wafer is R, the region within the range of 1/10 × R from the edge of the wafer is the peripheral edge of the wafer. In the present embodiment, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 cleans not all but a part of the peripheral edge of the substrate W. However, the present invention is not limited to this aspect, and the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may clean the entire peripheral edge of the substrate W.

第一移動部31及び第二移動部36を制御することで周縁洗浄部材10の基板Wの周縁部に対する位置を移動させ、基板Wの周縁部の一方側の面を含む一方側周縁領域W1、側面を含む側面領域W3及び他方側の面を含む他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄させる装置制御部50が設けられてもよい(図3乃至図5参照)。本実施の形態の基板洗浄装置は、第1洗浄ユニット316で用いられてもよいし、第2洗浄ユニット318で用いられてもよいし、第1洗浄ユニット316及び第2洗浄ユニット318とは異なるユニットで用いられてもよい。周縁洗浄部材10は円柱形状となってもよい。 By controlling the first moving portion 31 and the second moving portion 36, the position of the peripheral cleaning member 10 with respect to the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W is moved, and the one-side peripheral edge region W1 including one side surface of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, A device control unit 50 for cleaning the side surface region W3 including the side surface and the other side peripheral edge region W2 including the other side surface by the peripheral cleaning member 10 may be provided (see FIGS. 3 to 5). The substrate cleaning device of the present embodiment may be used in the first cleaning unit 316 or the second cleaning unit 318, and is different from the first cleaning unit 316 and the second cleaning unit 318. It may be used in the unit. The peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may have a cylindrical shape.

周縁回転部40による周縁洗浄部材10の回転速度及び回転方向は装置制御部50によって自在に制御できるようになってもよい。 The rotation speed and rotation direction of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 by the peripheral edge rotating unit 40 may be freely controlled by the device control unit 50.

本実施の形態では装置制御部50が基板洗浄装置の制御を行う態様を用いて説明するが、これに限られることはなく、全体制御部350が基板洗浄装置の制御を行うようにしてもよい。 In this embodiment, the device control unit 50 controls the substrate cleaning device, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the overall control unit 350 may control the substrate cleaning device. ..

装置制御部50は、一方側周縁領域W1、側面領域W3及び他方側周縁領域W2を順次洗浄するようになってもよい。より具体的には、装置制御部50は、周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第一時間T1だけ一方側周縁領域W1を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第三時間T3だけ側面領域W3を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第二時間T2だけ他方側周縁領域W2を洗浄するように制御してもよい。また、装置制御部50は、周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第二時間T2だけ他方側周縁領域W2を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第三時間T3だけ側面領域W3を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第一時間T1だけ一方側周縁領域W1を洗浄するように制御してもよい。第一時間T1、第二時間T2及び第三時間T3の各々が同一又は略同一となってもよいし、これらが互いに異なる時間であってもよい。本実施の形態において「略同一」とは、両者の差分が大きい方の値の5%以下であることを意味している。したがって、第一時間T1、第二時間T2及び第三時間T3が略同一であるというのは、例えばT1がT2及びT3よりも大きい場合には、T1−T2≦T1×0.05となり、かつT1−T3≦T1×0.05となることを意味している。なお、第一時間T1、第二時間T2及び第三時間T3は例えば数秒であってもよいし数分であってもよいし、30分以上の時間であってもよい。 The device control unit 50 may sequentially clean the one-side peripheral area W1, the side surface area W3, and the other side peripheral area W2. More specifically, in the device control unit 50, the peripheral cleaning member 10 cleans the one-side peripheral region W1 for a predetermined first time T1, and then the peripheral cleaning member 10 cleans the side peripheral region W3 for a predetermined third time T3. After that, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be controlled to wash the other peripheral peripheral area W2 for a predetermined second time T2. Further, in the device control unit 50, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 cleans the other side peripheral edge region W2 for a predetermined second time T2, and then the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 cleans the side surface region W3 for a predetermined third time T3. After that, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be controlled to clean the one-side peripheral area W1 for a predetermined first time T1. The first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3 may be the same or substantially the same, or they may be different times from each other. In the present embodiment, "substantially the same" means that the difference between the two is 5% or less of the larger value. Therefore, the fact that the first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3 are substantially the same means that, for example, when T1 is larger than T2 and T3, T1-T2 ≦ T1 × 0.05, and It means that T1-T3 ≦ T1 × 0.05. The first time T1, the second time T2, and the third time T3 may be, for example, several seconds, several minutes, or 30 minutes or more.

周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力を検出する検出部21が設けられてもよい(図9参照)。検出部21は周縁洗浄部材10の周縁回転軸19に設けられてもよいし、第二移動部36又は第一移動部31及び第二移動部36に加わる力を検出することで周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力を検出するように構成されてもよい。検出部21は加わる力を直接検出してもよいし、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wに対して押し付けるモータに加わるトルクによって加わる力を検出してもよい。装置制御部50は基板Wに対して加わる力が一定になるように検出部21からの検出結果を用いてフィードバック制御を行うようにしてもよい。 A detection unit 21 for detecting a force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be provided (see FIG. 9). The detection unit 21 may be provided on the peripheral rotation shaft 19 of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10, or the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be provided by detecting a force applied to the second moving portion 36 or the first moving portion 31 and the second moving portion 36. It may be configured to detect the force applied to. The detection unit 21 may directly detect the applied force, or may detect the applied force by the torque applied to the motor that presses the peripheral cleaning member 10 against the substrate W. The device control unit 50 may perform feedback control using the detection result from the detection unit 21 so that the force applied to the substrate W becomes constant.

装置制御部50は、検出部21による検出結果に基づいて第二移動部36又は第一移動部31及び第二移動部36の制御を行い、一方側周縁領域W1又は他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力と、側面領域W3を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力が異なるように制御してもよい。 The device control unit 50 controls the second moving unit 36 or the first moving unit 31 and the second moving unit 36 based on the detection result by the detecting unit 21, and surrounds the one-side peripheral area W1 or the other side peripheral area W2. The force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning by the cleaning member 10 and the force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning the side surface region W3 by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be controlled to be different.

装置制御部50は、一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力と他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力とは略同一となるように制御してもよい。本実施の形態において「略同一」の意味は前述したとおりである。したがって、一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力F1と他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力F2とが略同一であるというのは、F1≧F2の場合にはF1−F2≦F1×0.05であることを意味し、F1<F2の場合にはF2−F1≦F2×0.05であることを意味している。 The device control unit 50 applies a force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning the one-side peripheral edge region W1 by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 and a force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning the other side peripheral edge region W2 by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10. It may be controlled so as to be substantially the same as the force. In this embodiment, the meaning of "substantially the same" is as described above. Therefore, the force F1 applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the one-side peripheral edge region W1 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 and the force F2 applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the other side peripheral edge region W2 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10. Is substantially the same, which means that F1-F2 ≦ F1 × 0.05 when F1 ≧ F2, and F2-F1 ≦ F2 × 0.05 when F1 <F2. It means that.

装置制御部50は、一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力及び他方側周縁領域W2を前周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力は、側面領域W3を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力よりも大きくなるように制御してもよい。 The device control unit 50 applies a force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning the one-side peripheral edge region W1 by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 and the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning the other side peripheral edge region W2 by the front peripheral edge cleaning member 10. The applied force may be controlled to be larger than the force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the side surface region W3 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10.

The contact member 81 may be made of a quartz plate or the like. A pressing portion 81a for pressing the contact member 81 is provided, and the apparatus control unit 50 may control the pressing portion 81a to perform cleaning of the peripheral cleaning member 10 or stop or control the cleaning. That is, the peripheral cleaning member 10 is cleaned by bringing the contact member 81 into contact with the peripheral cleaning member 10 by the pressing portion 81a, and the peripheral cleaning member 10 is cleaned by separating the contact member 81 from the peripheral cleaning member 10 by the pressing portion 81a. You may try to do it. The peripheral cleaning mechanism may be a cleaning liquid supply member 82 that supplies a cleaning liquid to the peripheral cleaning member 10 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

《効果》
次に、上述した構成からなる本実施の形態による効果であって、未だ説明していないものを中心に説明する。「構成」で記載されていない場合であっても、「効果」で説明するあらゆる構成を本件発明において採用することができる。
"effect"
Next, the effects of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, which have not been described yet, will be mainly described. Even if it is not described in "Structure", any configuration described in "Effect" can be adopted in the present invention.

第一移動部31及び第二移動部36を制御することで周縁洗浄部材10の基板Wの周縁部に対する位置を移動させ、一方側周縁領域W1、側面領域W3及び他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄させる態様を採用した場合には、基板Wの周縁部の側面だけではなく、一方側の面及び他方側の面をより確実に洗浄することができる。基板Wの側面は平坦であることは少なく、基板Wの先端が細くなっていることが多い。このため、周縁洗浄部材10の基板Wの周縁部に対する位置を移動させることで、一方側周縁領域W1及び他方側周縁領域W2をより確実に洗浄できる。また、基板Wの側面の先が細くなっていることから、周縁洗浄部材10が固定されている場合には先が細くなった基板Wのエッジで周縁洗浄部材10が削られてしまうことになるが、本態様のように周縁洗浄部材10が移動する場合には基板Wのエッジと周縁洗浄部材10との接触位置を変更することができ、周縁洗浄部材10の定まった位置で摩耗が発生することを防止できる。このため、周縁洗浄部材10による洗浄効果を長期間に及ぼすことができ、洗浄効果の下がった周縁洗浄部材10によって基板Wの周縁部(ベベル)が洗浄できないという事態が発生することを防止できる。なお、基板Wがウェハからなる場合には様々な膜が設けられていることから、基板Wの周縁部(ベベル)はより汚れやすくなっている。 By controlling the first moving portion 31 and the second moving portion 36, the position of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 with respect to the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W is moved, and the one side peripheral edge region W1, the side surface region W3 and the other side peripheral edge region W2 are peripherally cleaned. When the mode of cleaning by the member 10 is adopted, not only the side surface of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W but also one side surface and the other side surface can be cleaned more reliably. The side surface of the substrate W is rarely flat, and the tip of the substrate W is often thin. Therefore, by moving the position of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 with respect to the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, the one side peripheral edge region W1 and the other side peripheral edge region W2 can be more reliably cleaned. Further, since the side surface of the substrate W has a tapered edge, when the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is fixed, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is scraped at the edge of the tapered substrate W. However, when the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 moves as in this embodiment, the contact position between the edge of the substrate W and the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 can be changed, and wear occurs at a fixed position of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10. Can be prevented. Therefore, the cleaning effect of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 can be exerted for a long period of time, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the peripheral edge portion (bevel) of the substrate W cannot be cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 having a reduced cleaning effect. When the substrate W is made of a wafer, various films are provided, so that the peripheral edge portion (bevel) of the substrate W is more easily soiled.

なお、第一移動部31及び第二移動部36を制御する態様ではなく、周縁洗浄部材10を一方側周縁領域W1、側面領域W3及び他方側周縁領域W2を跨ぐように首振りさせる首振り機構18を設けてもよい(図12参照)。 It should be noted that the swing mechanism for swinging the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 so as to straddle the one-side peripheral area W1, the side surface area W3, and the other side peripheral area W2, instead of controlling the first moving unit 31 and the second moving unit 36. 18 may be provided (see FIG. 12).

周縁洗浄部材10を基板回転軸130と平行な軸(例えば上下方向で延在する軸)で回転させた場合には、周縁洗浄部材10から飛び散る洗浄液が基板Wに届きやすくなるが、周縁洗浄部材10を基板回転軸130に直交する方向(例えば左右方向で延在する軸)で延びた周縁回転軸19の周りで回転させる態様を採用した場合には、周縁洗浄部材10が回転することで飛び散る洗浄液が基板Wに届き難くすることができる。周縁洗浄部材10の単位時間あたりの回転数は基板Wの単位時間あたりの回転数よりもかなり大きくなることから、周縁洗浄部材10から基板Wへ洗浄液が飛び散りやすい傾向にある。このため、周縁洗浄部材10を基板回転軸130に直交する方向で延びた周縁回転軸19の周りで回転させる態様を採用することは有益である。なお、基板Wがウェハからなる場合には、一例として、周縁洗浄部材10の回転数は基板Wの回転数の10倍の回転数となり、例えば周縁洗浄部材10の回転数が100回転だとすると、周縁洗浄部材10の回転数は1000回転となる。 When the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is rotated on an axis parallel to the substrate rotating shaft 130 (for example, an axis extending in the vertical direction), the cleaning liquid scattered from the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 easily reaches the substrate W, but the peripheral edge cleaning member When the mode of rotating 10 around the peripheral edge rotating shaft 19 extending in a direction orthogonal to the substrate rotating shaft 130 (for example, an axis extending in the left-right direction) is adopted, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 scatters due to rotation. It is possible to make it difficult for the cleaning liquid to reach the substrate W. Since the rotation speed of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 per unit time is considerably larger than the rotation speed of the substrate W per unit time, the cleaning liquid tends to scatter from the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 to the substrate W. Therefore, it is beneficial to adopt an embodiment in which the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is rotated around the peripheral edge rotating shaft 19 extending in a direction orthogonal to the substrate rotating shaft 130. When the substrate W is made of a wafer, as an example, the rotation speed of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is 10 times the rotation speed of the substrate W. For example, if the rotation speed of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is 100 rotations, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is rotated. The rotation speed of the cleaning member 10 is 1000 rotations.

装置制御部50が、周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第一時間T1だけ一方側周縁領域W1を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第三時間T3だけ側面領域W3を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第二時間T2だけ他方側周縁領域W2を洗浄するように制御する態様を採用する場合には、基板Wの周縁部に付着した汚れを一方側の面から他方側の面へと順次移動させることができ、取り除いた汚れが基板Wの別の箇所に付着することを防止できる。この態様は、一方側の面が上方側に位置し、他方側の面が下方側に位置する場合に特に有益である。この場合には、周縁洗浄部材10が所定の第一時間T1だけ一方側周縁領域W1を洗浄した後で、第二移動部36が周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間するように移動させた後で、第一移動部31が周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの法線方向に沿って移動させ(例えば下方に移動させ)、第二移動部36が周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの側面領域W3に近接させ、当接するまで又は所定の力が周縁洗浄部材10に加わるまで移動させる。所定の第三時間T3だけ側面領域W3を周縁洗浄部材10が洗浄した後で、第二移動部36が周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間するように移動させた後で、第一移動部31が周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの法線方向に沿って移動させ(例えば下方に移動させ)、第二移動部36が周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの他方側周縁領域W2に近接させ、当接するまで又は所定の力が周縁洗浄部材10に加わるまで移動させる。その後、所定の第二時間T2だけ他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10が洗浄する。 The device control unit 50 cleans the one-side peripheral region W1 by the peripheral cleaning member 10 for a predetermined first time T1, and then the peripheral cleaning member 10 cleans the side peripheral region W3 for a predetermined third time T3. When the peripheral cleaning member 10 is controlled to clean the other peripheral region W2 for a predetermined second time T2, the dirt adhering to the peripheral edge of the substrate W is removed from one side to the other. It can be sequentially moved to the surface, and the removed dirt can be prevented from adhering to another part of the substrate W. This aspect is particularly useful when one side is located on the upper side and the other side is located on the lower side. In this case, after the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 cleans the one-side peripheral edge region W1 for a predetermined first time T1, the second moving portion 36 moves so as to separate the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W. After that, the first moving portion 31 moves the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 along the normal direction of the substrate W (for example, moves it downward), and the second moving portion 36 moves the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 to the side surface of the substrate W. It is brought close to the region W3 and moved until it abuts or a predetermined force is applied to the peripheral cleaning member 10. After the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 has cleaned the side surface region W3 for a predetermined third time T3, the second moving portion 36 has moved the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 so as to be separated from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, and then the first The moving portion 31 moves the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 along the normal direction of the substrate W (for example, moves it downward), and the second moving portion 36 brings the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 close to the other peripheral peripheral region W2 of the substrate W. , Move until they come into contact with each other or until a predetermined force is applied to the peripheral cleaning member 10. After that, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 cleans the other peripheral peripheral region W2 for a predetermined second time T2.

一方側周縁領域W1又は他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力と、側面領域W3を前記周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力が異なるように装置制御部50が制御する態様を採用する場合には、周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの側面を洗浄する場合と、周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部のうちの一方側の面又は他方側の面を洗浄する場合とで、異なる力で基板Wの周縁部を洗浄することができる。 A force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the one side peripheral area W1 or the other side peripheral edge area W2 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10, and a force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the side surface area W3 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10. When the device control unit 50 controls so that the forces are different, the peripheral cleaning member 10 cleans the side surface of the substrate W and the peripheral cleaning member 10 is one side of the peripheral edge of the substrate W. The peripheral edge of the substrate W can be cleaned with a different force than in the case of cleaning the surface of the substrate W or the surface on the other side.

一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力と他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力とは略同一となるように装置制御部50が制御する態様を採用する場合には、周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部のうちの一方側の面を洗浄する場合と他方側の面を洗浄する場合とで同程度の力で基板Wの周縁部を洗浄することができる。 The force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the one side peripheral edge region W1 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 and the force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the other side peripheral edge region W2 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 are substantially the same. When the aspect in which the device control unit 50 controls is adopted, the peripheral cleaning member 10 cleans one surface of the peripheral edge of the substrate W and the other surface. The peripheral edge of the substrate W can be cleaned with the same force.

一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力及び他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力が、側面領域W3を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力よりも大きくなるように装置制御部50が制御する態様を採用する場合には、斜め方向から力が加わることから力が加わりにくい一方側周縁領域W1及び他方側周縁領域W2であってもより確実に洗浄することができる。この際、力の加わり方をベクトルで分解した計算結果を根拠として、一方側周縁領域W1及び他方側周縁領域W2に加わる力と側面領域W3に加わる力とが略同一になるように装置制御部50が制御してもよい。 The force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the one side peripheral edge region W1 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 and the force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when the other side peripheral edge region W2 is cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 are the side surface region W3. When the device control unit 50 controls the device so as to be larger than the force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 when cleaning the peripheral edge cleaning member 10, the force is difficult to be applied because the force is applied from an oblique direction. Even the one-side peripheral area W1 and the other side peripheral area W2 can be cleaned more reliably. At this time, based on the calculation result obtained by decomposing how the force is applied by a vector, the device control unit so that the force applied to the one-side peripheral region W1 and the other side peripheral region W2 and the force applied to the side peripheral region W3 are substantially the same. 50 may be controlled.

また基板Wの一方側の面及び他方側の面のいずれかをより確実に洗浄したい場合には、確実に洗浄したい面の周縁部を洗浄する際に、周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力が大きくなるように装置制御部50が制御してもよい。一例として、一方側周縁領域W1を他方側周縁領域W2よりもより確実に洗浄したい場合には、一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力が、他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する際に周縁洗浄部材10に加わる力よりも大きくなるように装置制御部50が制御してもよい。またこの場合には、一方側周縁領域W1を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する第一時間T1が、他方側周縁領域W2を周縁洗浄部材10によって洗浄する第二時間T2よりも長くなるように装置制御部50が制御してもよい。他方側周縁領域W2を一方側周縁領域Wよりもより確実に洗浄したい場合には、装置制御部50が逆の制御を行ってもよい。 Further, when it is desired to more reliably clean either one side surface or the other side surface of the substrate W, the force applied to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 becomes large when cleaning the peripheral edge portion of the surface to be reliably cleaned. The device control unit 50 may control the device as described above. As an example, when it is desired to clean the one-side peripheral region W1 more reliably than the other peripheral region W2, the force applied to the peripheral cleaning member 10 when cleaning the one-side peripheral region W1 by the peripheral cleaning member 10 is applied to the other. The device control unit 50 may control the side peripheral region W2 so as to be larger than the force applied to the peripheral cleaning member 10 when the peripheral peripheral region W2 is cleaned by the peripheral cleaning member 10. Further, in this case, the device is controlled so that the first time T1 for cleaning the one-side peripheral region W1 by the peripheral cleaning member 10 is longer than the second time T2 for cleaning the other peripheral peripheral region W2 by the peripheral cleaning member 10. The unit 50 may control. When it is desired to clean the other side peripheral area W2 more reliably than the one side peripheral area W, the device control unit 50 may perform the reverse control.

基板Wの中心部から周縁部に向かって、周縁洗浄部材10と基板Wとの接触箇所に対して洗浄液を供給する周縁洗浄液供給部60が設けられている場合には、基板Wの周縁部を洗浄液によって洗浄できるだけではなく、基板Wの周縁部から基板Wの中心部に向かって洗浄液が流れ(逆流し)、基板Wの中心領域が汚れてしまうことを防止できる。 When the peripheral cleaning liquid supply unit 60 for supplying the cleaning liquid to the contact point between the peripheral cleaning member 10 and the substrate W is provided from the central portion of the substrate W toward the peripheral edge portion, the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W is provided. Not only can the cleaning liquid be used for cleaning, but it is also possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from flowing (backflowing) from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W toward the central portion of the substrate W and contaminating the central region of the substrate W.

周縁洗浄部材10の基板Wの中心部側に隔壁71,71aが設けられる態様を採用した場合には(図7及び図10参照)、周縁洗浄液供給部60から供給される洗浄液が跳ねて、基板Wの中心側が汚れてしまうことを防止できる。この観点からすると、隔壁71を有するカバー部材70によって周縁洗浄部材10を覆う構成となっていることが有益である。 When the partition walls 71 and 71a are provided on the central portion side of the substrate W of the peripheral cleaning member 10 (see FIGS. 7 and 10), the cleaning liquid supplied from the peripheral cleaning liquid supply unit 60 bounces off the substrate. It is possible to prevent the central side of W from becoming dirty. From this point of view, it is beneficial that the peripheral cleaning member 10 is covered with the cover member 70 having the partition wall 71.

図7に示すようにカバー部材70に周縁洗浄液供給部60が取り付けられる態様を採用した場合には、予め定まった位置に周縁洗浄液供給部60を配置でき、ひいては、基板Wの周縁部の定まった位置に洗浄液を供給できるようになる。このため、均一な洗浄効果を得やすくなる。 When the aspect in which the peripheral cleaning liquid supply unit 60 is attached to the cover member 70 as shown in FIG. 7 is adopted, the peripheral cleaning liquid supply unit 60 can be arranged at a predetermined position, and by extension, the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W is determined. The cleaning liquid can be supplied to the position. Therefore, it becomes easy to obtain a uniform cleaning effect.

図6及び図7に示すようにカバー部材70に周縁洗浄液供給部60から供給される洗浄液を排出する排出口79が設けられる態様を採用した場合には、供給された洗浄液を効率よく排出することができる。 When the cover member 70 is provided with a discharge port 79 for discharging the cleaning liquid supplied from the peripheral cleaning liquid supply unit 60 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the supplied cleaning liquid is efficiently discharged. Can be done.

図7に示すように周縁洗浄部材10を洗浄するための周縁洗浄機構が設けられる態様を採用した場合には、周縁洗浄部材10が汚れてしまうことを防止でき、ひいては、基板Wの周縁部の洗浄効果を高めることができる。 When a mode in which a peripheral edge cleaning mechanism for cleaning the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is provided as shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to prevent the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 from becoming dirty, and by extension, the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W. The cleaning effect can be enhanced.

周縁洗浄機構として周縁洗浄部材10に当接可能な接触部材81を用いた場合には、物理的な接触で周縁洗浄部材10に付着した汚れを除去することができる。周縁洗浄機構として周縁洗浄部材10に洗浄液を供給する洗浄液供給部材82を用いた場合には、洗浄液によって周縁洗浄部材10に付着した汚れを除去することができる。周縁洗浄機構として周縁洗浄部材10を吸引する吸引部材83を用いた場合には、周縁洗浄部材10に付着した汚れを吸引することで除去することができる。 When a contact member 81 capable of contacting the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is used as the peripheral edge cleaning mechanism, dirt adhering to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 can be removed by physical contact. When the cleaning liquid supply member 82 that supplies the cleaning liquid to the peripheral cleaning member 10 is used as the peripheral cleaning mechanism, the dirt adhering to the peripheral cleaning member 10 can be removed by the cleaning liquid. When the suction member 83 that sucks the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is used as the peripheral edge cleaning mechanism, it can be removed by sucking the dirt adhering to the peripheral edge cleaning member 10.

周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部を洗浄していない時間に周縁洗浄機構が周縁洗浄部材10を洗浄する態様を採用した場合には、周縁洗浄部材10を洗浄したことによる汚れが基板Wに付着することを防止できる。特にこの態様は、周縁洗浄機構として接触部材81又は洗浄液供給部材82を採用した場合に有益である。 When the peripheral cleaning mechanism adopts the mode in which the peripheral cleaning member cleans the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 while the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is not cleaning the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, dirt due to cleaning the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is found on the substrate W. It can be prevented from adhering. In particular, this aspect is useful when the contact member 81 or the cleaning liquid supply member 82 is adopted as the peripheral cleaning mechanism.

周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部を洗浄している時間と周縁洗浄機構が周縁洗浄部材10を洗浄する時間とが少なくとも一部で重複するように装置制御部50が制御する場合には、周縁洗浄部材10を洗浄する時間の間に基板Wの周縁部の洗浄を停止する時間を短くすることができ、スループットを挙げることができる。特にこの態様は、周縁洗浄機構として吸引部材83を採用した場合に有益である。 When the apparatus control unit 50 controls so that the time when the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 cleans the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W and the time when the peripheral edge cleaning mechanism cleans the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 overlap at least in part. During the time for cleaning the peripheral edge cleaning member 10, the time for stopping the cleaning of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W can be shortened, and the throughput can be increased. In particular, this aspect is useful when the suction member 83 is adopted as the peripheral cleaning mechanism.

基板洗浄部材210が基板Wの一方側の面又は他方側の面を洗浄する時間と周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部を洗浄する時間とが少なくとも一部で重複するように装置制御部50が制御する場合には、基板Wの中心部を含む周縁部以外と基板Wの周縁部とを同時に洗浄することができ、基板Wの周縁部だけを洗浄する時間を短く又は無くすことができる。この結果、一枚あたりの基板Wの洗浄時間を短くすることができ、基板洗浄装置の稼働率を高めることができる。 The apparatus control unit 50 so that the time for the substrate cleaning member 210 to clean one side surface or the other side surface of the substrate W and the time for the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 to clean the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W overlap at least in part. In the case of controlling, the peripheral portion other than the peripheral portion including the central portion of the substrate W and the peripheral portion of the substrate W can be cleaned at the same time, and the time for cleaning only the peripheral portion of the substrate W can be shortened or eliminated. As a result, the cleaning time of the substrate W per sheet can be shortened, and the operating rate of the substrate cleaning apparatus can be increased.

図11(a)に示すように、周縁洗浄部材10は、図8に示す上方側のロール洗浄部材と同様、複数の突出部10pを有してもよい。このような態様を採用した場合には、突出部10pが基板Wの周縁部に当たることで洗浄でき、より高い洗浄効果を発揮できる。また、周縁洗浄部材10は図11(b)に示すような溝部10vを有してもよい。この場合にも、溝部10vの間の領域が突出部10pと同様の機能を果たし、洗浄効果を高めることとなる。溝部10vは周縁洗浄部材10の長手方向に連続的に設けられてもよいし、断続的に設けられてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 11A, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may have a plurality of protrusions 10p, similarly to the roll cleaning member on the upper side shown in FIG. When such an aspect is adopted, the projecting portion 10p can be cleaned by hitting the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, and a higher cleaning effect can be exhibited. Further, the peripheral cleaning member 10 may have a groove portion 10v as shown in FIG. 11B. Also in this case, the region between the groove portions 10v functions in the same manner as the protrusion portion 10p, and the cleaning effect is enhanced. The groove portion 10v may be provided continuously in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10, or may be provided intermittently.

また、図13(a)(b)で示すような態様を採用してもよい。図13(a)(b)に示す態様では、周縁回転部40の一方側(一例として上方側)に周縁洗浄部材10が設けられ、周縁回転部40と周縁回転軸19とが歯車部材141−144を介して連結される態様となっている。本態様では、周縁回転軸19及び歯車部材141−144を覆うが、周縁洗浄部材10を覆わない駆動カバー部材145が設けられている。周縁洗浄部材10は周縁回転軸19に交換可能に取り付けられている。周縁回転軸19は駆動カバー部材145に軸受け(符号省略)を介して回転可能に支持されている。歯車部材142と歯車部材143に連結される回転軸(符号省略)は軸受け(符号省略)を介して台座(符号省略)に回転可能に支持されている。また周縁回転部40(駆動モーター)は台座(符号省略)を支持している。本態様では、駆動カバー部材145及び周縁洗浄部材10が一体となって(全体として)、第一移動部31及び第二移動部36によって移動されるようにしてもよい。 Further, the embodiment as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b) may be adopted. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is provided on one side (upper side as an example) of the peripheral edge rotating portion 40, and the peripheral edge rotating portion 40 and the peripheral edge rotating shaft 19 are connected to the gear member 141-. It is in a mode of being connected via 144. In this embodiment, a drive cover member 145 that covers the peripheral rotation shaft 19 and the gear member 141-144 but does not cover the peripheral cleaning member 10 is provided. The peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is replaceably attached to the peripheral edge rotating shaft 19. The peripheral rotation shaft 19 is rotatably supported by the drive cover member 145 via a bearing (reference numeral omitted). The rotating shaft (reference numeral omitted) connected to the gear member 142 and the gear member 143 is rotatably supported by a pedestal (reference numeral omitted) via a bearing (reference numeral omitted). Further, the peripheral rotating portion 40 (drive motor) supports a pedestal (reference numeral omitted). In this embodiment, the drive cover member 145 and the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be integrally (as a whole) moved by the first moving portion 31 and the second moving portion 36.

第2の実施の形態
次に第2の実施の形態について説明する。
Second Embodiment Next, the second embodiment will be described.

第1の実施の形態では1つの周縁洗浄部材10が設けられる態様であったが、本実施の形態では、図14乃至図17に示すように基板Wの周縁部を洗浄する2つ以上の部材が設けられる態様となっている。その他については、第1の実施の形態と同様であり、第1の実施の形態で採用したあらゆる構成を第2の実施の形態でも採用することができる。第1の実施の形態で説明した部材に対しては同じ符号を付して説明する。 In the first embodiment, one peripheral cleaning member 10 is provided, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 17, two or more members for cleaning the peripheral edge of the substrate W. Is provided. Others are the same as those in the first embodiment, and any configuration adopted in the first embodiment can be adopted in the second embodiment. The members described in the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.

図14及び図15に示すように、周縁洗浄部材10は、少なくとも基板Wの側面の一方側の一部及び周縁部の一方側の面に当接して洗浄する第一周縁洗浄部材11と、少なくとも基板Wの側面の他方側の一部及び周縁部の他方側の面に当接して洗浄する第二周縁洗浄部材12とを有してもよい。 As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the peripheral cleaning member 10 includes at least a part of the side surface of the substrate W and the first peripheral cleaning member 11 that abuts and cleans the peripheral surface on one side. It may have a second peripheral edge cleaning member 12 that abuts and cleans a part of the other side of the side surface of the substrate W and the other side surface of the peripheral edge portion.

このような態様を用いた場合には、第一周縁洗浄部材11によって基板Wの側面の一方側の一部及び周縁部の一方側の面を洗浄し、第二周縁洗浄部材12によって基板Wの側面の他方側の一部及び周縁部の他方側の面を洗浄することができ、基板Wの周縁部全体を二つの周縁洗浄部材11,12によって洗浄することができる。 When such an aspect is used, a part of one side of the side surface of the substrate W and one surface of the peripheral edge portion are cleaned by the first peripheral edge cleaning member 11, and the substrate W is cleaned by the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12. A part of the other side of the side surface and the other side surface of the peripheral edge portion can be cleaned, and the entire peripheral edge portion of the substrate W can be cleaned by the two peripheral edge cleaning members 11 and 12.

第二周縁洗浄部材12が第一周縁洗浄部材11よりも下方側に位置する場合には、第一周縁洗浄部材11は基板Wの回転方向の上流側(図14の下方側)に位置し、第二周縁洗浄部材12は基板Wの回転方向の下流側(図14の上方側)に位置することが有益である(図15も参照)。この態様によれば、基板Wの一方側(上方側)を洗浄した洗浄液が他方側(下方側)に回り込んだ場合でも、第二周縁洗浄部材12によって洗い流すことができるためである。 When the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12 is located below the first peripheral edge cleaning member 11, the first peripheral edge cleaning member 11 is located on the upstream side (lower side in FIG. 14) of the substrate W in the rotational direction. It is beneficial that the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12 is located on the downstream side (upper side in FIG. 14) of the substrate W in the rotational direction (see also FIG. 15). According to this aspect, even when the cleaning liquid that has washed one side (upper side) of the substrate W wraps around to the other side (lower side), it can be washed away by the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12.

また、図16及び図17に示すように、周縁洗浄部材10は、少なくとも基板Wの側面に当接して洗浄する第三周縁洗浄部材13と、少なくとも基板Wの周縁部の一方側の面に当接して洗浄する第四周縁洗浄部材14と、少なくとも基板Wの周縁部の他方側の面に当接して洗浄する第五周縁洗浄部材15とを有してもよい。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 hits at least one surface of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W with the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13 that abuts and cleans the side surface of the substrate W. It may have a fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14 for contacting and cleaning, and a fifth peripheral edge cleaning member 15 for contacting and cleaning at least the other side surface of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W.

このような態様を用いた場合には、第三周縁洗浄部材13によって基板Wの側面を洗浄し、第四周縁洗浄部材14によって基板Wの周縁部の一方側の面を洗浄することができ、第五周縁洗浄部材15によって基板Wの周縁部の他方側の面を洗浄することができる。 When such an aspect is used, the side surface of the substrate W can be cleaned by the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13, and one surface of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W can be cleaned by the fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14. The fifth peripheral edge cleaning member 15 can clean the other surface of the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W.

第一周縁洗浄部材11及び第二周縁洗浄部材12に関して述べた理由と同様の理由から、第四周縁洗浄部材14、第三周縁洗浄部材13及び第五周縁洗浄部材15の順で上方から下方に向かって配置されている場合には、第四周縁洗浄部材14が第三周縁洗浄部材13に対して基板Wの回転方向の上流側(図16の下方側)に位置し、第三周縁洗浄部材13が第五周縁洗浄部材15に対して基板Wの回転方向の上流側(図16の下方側)に位置することが有益である(図17も参照)。 For the same reason as described for the first peripheral edge cleaning member 11 and the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12, the fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14, the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13, and the fifth peripheral edge cleaning member 15 are arranged in this order from top to bottom. When the fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14 is arranged toward the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13, the fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14 is located on the upstream side (lower side in FIG. 16) of the substrate W in the rotational direction with respect to the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13. It is beneficial that 13 is located on the upstream side (lower side of FIG. 16) of the substrate W in the rotational direction with respect to the fifth peripheral edge cleaning member 15 (see also FIG. 17).

このように複数の周縁洗浄部材11−15を設ける場合には、必ずしも周縁洗浄部材11−15を移動させる必要が無くなるが、他方で、周縁洗浄部材11−15の収納スペースを確保する等、装置が大型化してしまう。このため、小型の装置を採用したい場合には、第1の実施の形態で説明した態様を採用することが有益ではある。 When a plurality of peripheral cleaning members 11-15 are provided in this way, it is not always necessary to move the peripheral cleaning members 11-15, but on the other hand, an apparatus such as securing a storage space for the peripheral cleaning members 11-15 is secured. Will become large. Therefore, when it is desired to adopt a small device, it is beneficial to adopt the embodiment described in the first embodiment.

第一周縁洗浄部材11及び第二周縁洗浄部材12の各々の回転速度及び回転方向は独立して装置制御部50が制御できるようになってもよい。同様に、第三周縁洗浄部材13、第四周縁洗浄部材14及び第五周縁洗浄部材15の各々の回転速度及び回転方向は独立して装置制御部50が制御できるようになってもよい。 The device control unit 50 may be able to independently control the rotation speed and rotation direction of each of the first peripheral edge cleaning member 11 and the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12. Similarly, the device control unit 50 may be able to independently control the rotation speed and rotation direction of each of the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13, the fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14, and the fifth peripheral edge cleaning member 15.

上記で第1の実施の形態で採用したあらゆる構成を第2の実施の形態でも採用することができると説明したとおり、本実施の形態でも第1の実施の形態と同様の態様を採用することができる。例えば、本実施の形態でも、第1の実施の形態と同様、第一周縁洗浄部材11及び第二周縁洗浄部材12のいずれかもしくは両方、又は第三周縁洗浄部材13、第四周縁洗浄部材14及び第五周縁洗浄部材15のいずれか一つ以上もしくは全部が基板Wの一方側周縁領域W1、側面領域W3及び他方側周縁領域W2を移動する態様を採用してもよい。 As explained above that any configuration adopted in the first embodiment can be adopted in the second embodiment, the same embodiment as in the first embodiment is adopted in this embodiment as well. Can be done. For example, also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, either or both of the first peripheral edge cleaning member 11 and the second peripheral edge cleaning member 12, or the third peripheral edge cleaning member 13 and the fourth peripheral edge cleaning member 14 And one or more or all of the fifth peripheral edge cleaning member 15 may adopt a mode in which one side peripheral area W1, the side surface area W3, and the other side peripheral area W2 of the substrate W move.

第3の実施の形態
次に、本発明の第3の実施の形態について説明する。
Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

本実施の形態では、装置制御部50が、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させた後で、基板回転部110による基板Wの回転を停止させるように制御する態様となっている。本実施の形態でも、上記各実施の形態で採用したあらゆる構成を採用することができる。上記各実施の形態で説明した部材に対しては同じ符号を付して説明する。 In the present embodiment, the device control unit 50 controls the peripheral cleaning member 10 so as to stop the rotation of the substrate W by the substrate rotating unit 110 after separating the peripheral cleaning member 10 from the peripheral edge of the substrate W. .. Also in this embodiment, any configuration adopted in each of the above embodiments can be adopted. The members described in each of the above embodiments will be described with the same reference numerals.

周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させる前に基板Wの回転を停止させると、周縁洗浄部材10に付着又は吸収されていた洗浄液が基板Wに逆流し、基板Wが汚れてしまう可能性がある。本実施の形態のように、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させた後で、基板回転部110による基板Wの回転を停止させる態様を採用した場合には、このような基板Wの汚染を防止できる。 If the rotation of the substrate W is stopped before the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is separated from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, the cleaning liquid adhering to or absorbed by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may flow back to the substrate W and the substrate W may become dirty. There is sex. When the aspect of stopping the rotation of the substrate W by the substrate rotating portion 110 after separating the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W as in the present embodiment is adopted, such a substrate W is adopted. Can prevent contamination.

装置制御部50は、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させた後であって基板回転部110による基板Wの回転を停止させる前に、基板洗浄液供給部220からの洗浄液の供給を停止させるように制御してもよい。この態様を採用した場合には、基板洗浄液供給部220からの洗浄液の供給を停止させた後で基板Wの回転を停止させることから、基板Wに洗浄液が残ることを防止できる。ただし、このような態様に限られることはなく、装置制御部50は、基板回転部110による基板Wの回転を停止させた後に、基板洗浄液供給部220からの洗浄液の供給を停止させるように制御してもよい。 The apparatus control unit 50 supplies the cleaning liquid from the substrate cleaning liquid supply unit 220 after the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is separated from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W and before the rotation of the substrate W by the substrate rotating unit 110 is stopped. It may be controlled to stop. When this aspect is adopted, since the rotation of the substrate W is stopped after the supply of the cleaning liquid from the substrate cleaning liquid supply unit 220 is stopped, it is possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from remaining on the substrate W. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the device control unit 50 controls so as to stop the supply of the cleaning liquid from the substrate cleaning liquid supply unit 220 after stopping the rotation of the substrate W by the substrate rotating unit 110. You may.

装置制御部50は基板洗浄液供給部220のみならず周縁洗浄液供給部60からの供給及び停止も制御することとしてもよい。第1の実施の形態でも述べたように、基板洗浄部材210が基板Wの一方側の面又は他方側の面を洗浄する時間と周縁洗浄部材10が基板Wの周縁部を洗浄する時間とが少なくとも一部で重複するように制御してもよい。 The device control unit 50 may control not only the substrate cleaning liquid supply unit 220 but also the supply and stop from the peripheral cleaning liquid supply unit 60. As described in the first embodiment, the time required for the substrate cleaning member 210 to clean one side surface or the other side surface of the substrate W and the time required for the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 to clean the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W are It may be controlled so as to overlap at least a part.

装置制御部50は、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させる前に周縁回転部40による周縁洗浄部材10の回転を停止させるように制御してもよい。この態様を採用した場合には、基板Wから離間した状態で回転する周縁回転部40から洗浄液が基板Wに対して飛び散ることを防止できる。また、装置制御部50は、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させる前に周縁洗浄部材10の回転速度を閾値以下まで落として所定時間だけ基板Wの周縁部を洗浄し、その後で周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの周縁部から離間させ、その後で周縁回転部40による周縁洗浄部材10の回転を停止させるように制御してもよい。 The device control unit 50 may control the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 to stop the rotation of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 by the peripheral edge rotating portion 40 before separating the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W. When this aspect is adopted, it is possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing with respect to the substrate W from the peripheral rotation portion 40 that rotates in a state of being separated from the substrate W. Further, the device control unit 50 reduces the rotation speed of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 to a threshold value or less before separating the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, and cleans the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W for a predetermined time. The peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be controlled to be separated from the peripheral edge portion of the substrate W, and then the rotation of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 by the peripheral edge rotating portion 40 may be stopped.

<変形例>
上記各実施の形態において、以下のような変形例を採用することもできる。
<Modification example>
In each of the above embodiments, the following modifications can be adopted.

変形例1
前述したように、周縁洗浄部材10は円柱形状となってもよいが、図18及び図19に示すように、周縁洗浄部材10はウェハの形状に合わせて側面が湾曲している形状となってもよい。「ウェハの形状に合わせて側面が湾曲している形状となる」というのは、ウェハの一方側(例えば上方側)から見たときに(法線方向に沿って見たときに)、ウェハの曲率半径に対応する曲率半径を洗浄部材の側面が有していることを意味している。ここで曲率半径が対応するというのは、両者の曲率半径の差が大きい方の5%以内であることを意味している。つまりウェハの曲率半径R1に洗浄部材の側面の曲率半径R2が対応しているというのは、R1≧R2の場合にはR1−R2≦R1×0.05であることを意味し、R1<R2の場合にはR2−R1≦R2×0.05であることを意味している。
Modification 1
As described above, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may have a cylindrical shape, but as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 has a shape in which the side surface is curved according to the shape of the wafer. May be good. "The side surface is curved to match the shape of the wafer" means that when viewed from one side (for example, the upper side) of the wafer (when viewed along the normal direction), the wafer It means that the side surface of the cleaning member has a radius of curvature corresponding to the radius of curvature. Here, the corresponding radius of curvature means that the difference between the two radii of curvature is within 5% of the larger one. That is, the fact that the radius of curvature R2 of the side surface of the cleaning member corresponds to the radius of curvature R1 of the wafer means that in the case of R1 ≧ R2, R1-R2 ≦ R1 × 0.05, and R1 <R2. In the case of, it means that R2-R1 ≦ R2 × 0.05.

複数の周縁洗浄部材10が設けられる場合には、各周縁洗浄部材10においてウェハの形状に合わせて側面が湾曲している形状となってもよい(図19参照)。 When a plurality of peripheral edge cleaning members 10 are provided, the side surfaces of each peripheral edge cleaning member 10 may be curved according to the shape of the wafer (see FIG. 19).

本変形例の態様を採用した場合には、基板Wの側面又は周縁部に面接触させた周縁洗浄部材10によって基板Wの側面又は周縁部を洗浄することができる。すなわち、周縁洗浄部材10との接触面積を大きくした状態で基板Wの側面又は周縁部を洗浄できる。このため、より効果的に基板Wの側面、又は基板Wの側面及び周縁部を洗浄することができる。 When the aspect of this modification is adopted, the side surface or the peripheral edge of the substrate W can be cleaned by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 which is in surface contact with the side surface or the peripheral edge of the substrate W. That is, the side surface or the peripheral edge of the substrate W can be cleaned with the contact area with the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 increased. Therefore, the side surface of the substrate W, or the side surface and the peripheral edge of the substrate W can be cleaned more effectively.

前述したとおり、本変形例のような周縁洗浄部材10を上記各実施の形態で採用したあらゆる構成で採用することができる。 As described above, the peripheral cleaning member 10 as in the present modification can be adopted in any configuration adopted in each of the above embodiments.

Modification 2
As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, a mode may be adopted in which the pen unit 160 rotated by the peripheral edge rotating portion 40 is provided and the peripheral edge cleaning member 10a is provided at the tip of the pen unit 160. As shown in FIG. 21, the position of the peripheral cleaning member 10 with respect to the peripheral edge of the substrate W may be moved by moving the pen unit 160 (see also the first embodiment).

本変形例のようなペンユニット160を採用した場合には装置を小型化することができる。また、ペンユニット160の根元を締結部材で締結するような態様を採用し、ペンユニット160そのものを交換するようにしてもよい。このような態様を採用した場合には、交換作業を容易なものにすることができ、ひいては基板洗浄装置の稼働率が下がることを防止できる。なお、このような態様に限られることはなく、ペンユニット160の先端に位置する周縁洗浄部材10aを取り換えることができるようにしてもよい。 When the pen unit 160 as in this modification is adopted, the device can be miniaturized. Further, the pen unit 160 itself may be replaced by adopting a mode in which the base of the pen unit 160 is fastened with a fastening member. When such an aspect is adopted, the replacement work can be facilitated, and it is possible to prevent the operation rate of the substrate cleaning device from being lowered. The aspect is not limited to this, and the peripheral cleaning member 10a located at the tip of the pen unit 160 may be replaced.

The peripheral rotating shaft 19, the gear member 147, and the rotating shaft connected to the gear member 148 are rotatably supported by the pedestal 145b via their respective bearings (reference numerals omitted). The peripheral rotating portion 40 (drive motor) supports the pedestal 145b. A drive cover member 145a (see the alternate long and short dash line portion in FIG. 20B) that covers the peripheral rotation shaft 19 and the gear member 146-149 but does not cover the peripheral rotation shaft 19 and the peripheral cleaning member 10a may be provided. .. In this case, the peripheral rotation shaft 19 (right part in the figure) and the peripheral cleaning member 10a are provided on the outer side of the drive cover member, and the peripheral rotation shaft 19 (left part in the figure) and the gear member 146-149 are provided. It is housed in the drive cover member 145a and cannot be visually recognized from the outside.

図20に示すように、周縁洗浄部材10aは先端が細くなるテーパー形状となってもよい。この場合には、周縁洗浄部材10aのテーパー形状部分に沿って基板Wが当接するように位置付けられてもよい(図20参照)。このように周縁洗浄部材がテーパー形状となる態様は、上記の各実施の形態及び変形例でも採用することができる。この場合にも、周縁洗浄部材10のテーパー形状部分に沿って基板Wが当接するように位置付けられてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 20, the peripheral cleaning member 10a may have a tapered shape having a tapered tip. In this case, the substrate W may be positioned so as to abut along the tapered portion of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10a (see FIG. 20). Such an embodiment in which the peripheral cleaning member has a tapered shape can also be adopted in each of the above-described embodiments and modifications. In this case as well, the substrate W may be positioned so as to abut along the tapered portion of the peripheral edge cleaning member 10.

また図20に示す態様では、ペンユニット160の根本だけを保持する片持ち構成となっているが、上記の各実施の形態及び変形例でもこのような片持ち構成を採用してもよい。 Further, in the aspect shown in FIG. 20, the cantilever configuration is used to hold only the root of the pen unit 160, but such a cantilever configuration may be adopted in each of the above-described embodiments and modifications.

前述したとおり、本変形例のようなペンユニット160を上記各実施の形態で採用したあらゆる構成で採用することができる。 As described above, the pen unit 160 as in this modification can be adopted in any configuration adopted in each of the above embodiments.

変形例3
図22(a)に示すように、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの法線方向に沿って見た場合(例えば上方から見た場合)、基板Wの回転方向上流側の部分が回転方向下流側の部分と比較して凹みが大きい態様となってもよい。図22で示す態様で説明すると、周縁洗浄部材10を基板Wの法線方向に沿って見た場合、基板Wの図22の下方側に位置する回転方向上流側の部分が図22の上方側に位置する回転方向下流側の部分と比較して凹みが大きい態様となっている。
Modification 3
As shown in FIG. 22A, when the peripheral cleaning member 10 is viewed along the normal direction of the substrate W (for example, when viewed from above), the portion of the substrate W on the upstream side in the rotation direction is on the downstream side in the rotation direction. The dent may be larger than that of the portion of. Explaining in the embodiment shown in FIG. 22, when the peripheral cleaning member 10 is viewed along the normal direction of the substrate W, the portion of the substrate W located on the lower side of FIG. 22 on the upstream side in the rotation direction is on the upper side of FIG. 22. The dent is larger than that of the portion located on the downstream side in the rotation direction.

基板Wがウェハからなる場合には、基板WにノッチWnが設けられることある。本態様を採用した場合には、周縁洗浄部材10による洗浄面積を一定程度確保しつつ、ノッチWnに周縁洗浄部材10が引っかかってしまう可能性を低減できる。また、図22(b)に示すように樽型形状からなる周縁洗浄部材10を採用してもよい。この場合にも、ノッチWnに周縁洗浄部材10が引っかかってしまう可能性を低減できる。 When the substrate W is made of a wafer, the substrate W may be provided with a notch Wn. When this aspect is adopted, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the peripheral edge cleaning member 10 is caught in the notch Wn while securing a certain degree of cleaning area by the peripheral edge cleaning member 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 22B, a barrel-shaped peripheral cleaning member 10 may be adopted. Also in this case, the possibility that the peripheral cleaning member 10 is caught in the notch Wn can be reduced.
